An electric dipole is placed in an electric field increasing at the rate of Ξ» per unit distance along the x-axis. The dipole may undergo :
A
rotational motion only
B
rotational motion and translational motion along z-axis
C
rotational motion and translational motion along x-axis
D
only translational motion along x-axis
